Carina Hong, 24, raised $64 million to build an AI mathematician that discovers new theorems and solves century-old problems.

For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...

Artificial intelligence has moved from checking homework to attacking problems that professional mathematicians once treated ...

When Hannah Cairo started showing up at Berkeley Math Circle meetings as a teenager, nobody was betting she would topple a four-decade-old problem in harmonic analysis before she finished high school.

Scanning the crowd at a fancy soiree may reveal a wide array of neckties, each fastened with a highly complex mathematical object masquerading as fashion. An entire field of mathematics is devoted to ...

One of the biggest stories in science is quietly playing out in the world of abstract mathematics. Over the course of last year, researchers fulfilled a decades-old dream when they unveiled a proof of ...

Hannah Cairo found herself stuck on a problem that wouldn’t leave her mind. It wasn’t a regular homework assignment—it was a decades-old mathematical puzzle believed to be true by leading experts in ...

Alabama was the only state to earn a "Strong" rating its math education in a new report from the National Council on Teacher Quality released Tuesday. The state, which has historically leaned red, ...

Mathematicians have finally solved a geometry problem that has puzzled the field for decades. By wiggling a needle around while spinning it, you can minimize the amount of space it moves through, ...
